its amazing how instrumentation of a song can entirely change it. i dont even like the other versions that much but this version is magical to me. i think its mainly the bass tone and its prevalence.
I agree 1000% I prefer this version so much more when I played it in my Gameboy back in the day I heard this ost and I thought Wow … I honestly didn’t understand the beauty of this OST until obviously I got older and I realized the effect it brings now it’s IMO the most Magical? Of all the other versions I just love it man it’s so good
My favourite GBA castlevania. This game rocks and is very underrated. The running ability you get very on in the game really adds to the game play and the dull moments quickly fade away as the first time I payed this game I was thinking no way this game is this slow.
Out of all the “cursed protagonist” games, Curse of the Moon is definitely the one needing the most remastering/remaking Harmony of Dissonance requires less bright sprites, upscaled sprites, some tweaking of Juste animation and a little bit of fine tuning, Aria of Sorrow… the Dawn of Sorrow exist but this one…. Oh boy, level design, graphics, more fine tuning in the gameplay and an extra character mode
@@hirotrum6810 Chapel of Dissonance was great - the rest I don't remember much. But it was also hampered by Konami deciding to allocate so little space to the music, so it's really lofi even for GBA.
@Zylo Wolf 2.0 I remember playing Bloodlines some years after playing Circle of the Moon and being shocked to hear my favourite track again in a different version. It's a great song but I like the Circle version a bit more. Legacy is also great, love the more slow and atmospheric aproach to the OST.
I got this as part of a bundle of five games I got just for Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge. This game was the only one I got really into, and is the only reason I played Castlevania in the first place.
Not so much everywhere as much as its area being the connecting hub to the rest of the place with the only two safe Save Point to Warp Point connections.
Still remember this song and the scenery. Finally find a way outside the castle and as you climb higher the moon shines bright and this music just melodically set the scene so right. This game is def underrated
Only main complaint I have with this game are the drop rates of gear and consumable healing items need to be swapped especially since no shop system exists in this game. With too many duplicates of equipment and very little healing consumables it adds an extra level of artificial difficulty simply due to RNG. Otherwise, not a bad game at all. In fact, I'm quite enjoying my maiden voyage via the Advance Collection. :)
You got to equip luck gear. That's what luck is for. If you beat the game once, it gives you a code to play as another class. There is 5 of them if I recall and one of them is thief. Thief is weak but has max luck so every item and cards drop practically instantly.
my firts castlevania was symphony of the night, but my favorite Castlevania its Circle of the moon play this game in my coauch and bed and anywhere and the nostallgia
I remember this music from the GBA game Castlevania Circle of the Moon. It's pretty amazing. I'm sure Konami has some amazing music in video games. Anyway I used to play it on Nintendo Game Boy Advance when I was a preteen. It's a good game but unfortunately I never beat it. I actually rented it from Chartbusters about few times in 2002. Sadly Chartbusters across Ireland don't exist anymore and they have gone liquidated since 2010 I think. I know it's a shame, isn't it? Now I have it on Nintendo Switch as Castlevania Advance Collection by the way.

At first I didn't like it because of the cheap midi sound, but since I've run through the locations with this tune a lot it kinda grew on me haha
This is def the best version, the bass tone really sets the whole tone
Indeed.
honestly i think Legacy of Darkness version is just as great.
Just this theme along makes the game worth it, it's SO GOOD!
Considering how limited this game was due the console that was meant, this OST is easily one of the best of the ALL GBA saga. Top 10 at least.
This game turns 20-years-old next year. Damn 0_0
Soma Cruz memories of playing it on my old game boy advance that was missing its battery cover... I miss those times :(

it is officially 20 years old now !!!!
@RATTLE ME SPOONS ^__^
CASTLEVANIA GBA COLLECTION IS HERE!!!!
One game in desperate need of a remaster.
My first GBA game. Lot of memories.
Getting released on Switch today 🤘
Out of all the “cursed protagonist” games, Curse of the Moon is definitely the one needing the most remastering/remaking
Harmony of Dissonance requires less bright sprites, upscaled sprites, some tweaking of Juste animation and a little bit of fine tuning, Aria of Sorrow… the Dawn of Sorrow exist but this one…. Oh boy, level design, graphics, more fine tuning in the gameplay and an extra character mode
@@James-oj6ru imagine harmony of dissonance gets a remake and it has the bassiest audio known to man
@@hirotrum6810 Chapel of Dissonance was great - the rest I don't remember much. But it was also hampered by Konami deciding to allocate so little space to the music, so it's really lofi even for GBA.
a symphonic masterpiece
Everyone loves Awaken, I think this is the underrated gem
It's from Bloodlines tho. Awaken is original to CoTM
The only song that had " listened 999999999 times" on iTunes for me.
Such a great piece of art.
@Zylo Wolf 2.0 I remember playing Bloodlines some years after playing Circle of the Moon and being shocked to hear my favourite track again in a different version. It's a great song but I like the Circle version a bit more.

this is canon to me no matter what, nathan is the true vampire/belmont slayer in my world.
But he died...
@@cyperus4589 No he didn't?
He’s a one off character. Just like the guy in castlevania 64.
Both have Belmont blood, they just don't have the name.
Hell yeah! Iga rips this game but then borrows heavily from it, lol. It's one of the best, imo!
Some parts will remind you of a place you first entered for the first time in castlevania and your mind can't change it
Yes! This hits me with a nostalgia so hard of the area you first hear it in
Damn the GBA could produce some good bass.
The nostalgia is real, even after 2 decades
This was the second castlevania game I ever played . So fire 🔥
what was your first?
I got this as part of a bundle of five games I got just for Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge. This game was the only one I got really into, and is the only reason I played Castlevania in the first place.
@@dogmanthecheeto4839 the original castlevania on Nintendo was my first
Exact same for me, my first was Symphony of the Night
@@idioticmonkey it’s sooooo good symphony
CotM's Finale Tocatta equivalent; the song that plays almost EVERYWHERE in the Castle.
Least its a really good track
Not so much everywhere as much as its area being the connecting hub to the rest of the place with the only two safe Save Point to Warp Point connections.
Almenos es la mejor canción del juego
one of the bests themes
Still remember this song and the scenery. Finally find a way outside the castle and as you climb higher the moon shines bright and this music just melodically set the scene so right. This game is def underrated
The name makes me want to listen to this the next time I'm going through Shulva in Dark Souls 2.
too much nostalgia in this song for me ❤
Never even played this game & yet this music feels so familiar to me. Goes to show how great it is!
This is the type of song that sould put a child into sleep. It's very beautiful and calm...
We need this to be remastered!!!
Well it's remastered kinda recently, as well as a few extra titles like Aria of sorrow & Harmony of dissonance & Vampire's Kiss/Dracula X.
@@azurecorviknight4189 I don't think so. If anything, the advanced collection feel like ports rather than remasters
My favorite vania and fave sound track💙
Deathrun anyone?
pirate adventure is such a great map
yes
Thought It was Roblox death run lol. Forgot about TF2 death run
No idea what you are even talking about.
*I LOVE THIS THEME ♥️*

I get over 60 pieces of Leather Armor without trying

On the second playthrough you can heal with a unicorn + Mercury holy whip card combo. :)
Oh my good. Its mágic and relaxing this theme. castlevania relaxing song
Rearranged from "Castlevania:Bloodlines (1994 Sega: Genesis)".
This track was originally used in the second stage (Greece) of Castlevania: Bloodlines.
Bass os just beautiful here
easily is the best soundtrack in the game
Ah the memories..............
my firts castlevania was symphony of the night, but my favorite Castlevania its Circle of the moon play this game in my coauch and bed and anywhere and the nostallgia
Beautiful

i love this
Came from tf2 dr_baby_pirate_adventure
some say it's the hardest map
others think the map is cool...
and i like the backround music
@@cake2943 That's my favorite deathrun map of all time.
I love that map, the added music makes the map 10x better love this music. 😁
First GBA Game I Played
I like this theme!
Taken from Castlevania Bloodlines
And made even better.
@@kabutops87 I prefer Bloodlines version with the piano
@@MARLONX61 i like bloodlines version but i do prefer this one, that bass defianty elevates this rendition above bloodlines.
@@kabutops87 I like both, each for very different reasons.
@@NipplesTheEnchilada2323 same
TF2 Deathrun Map anyone?
Man I hated that map so much!
But the music made up for it.
@@pierrebegley2746 When I played the map, that took me for like minutes to recognize that music.
What's a TF2?
@@Shendue Team Fortress 2, search it up of what is it.
Gives me Sea of Stars vibes
nice
Not sure which version I prefer, probably mega drive. But either way, it's in my top ten video game soundtrack songs.
Lindo demais
this sounds so similar to the song of storms from zelda
One thing about Castlevania is that those games always had good music. Except for the ones on the Nintendo 64. Those had no music.
Legacy of darkness on the n64 acutally had this song in it to lol
When you make the bass the lead instrument
Super Metroid Subversion's conversion reminded me this lmao
Hype
Super Metroid Subversion - Vulnar Caverns theme.
Art tower ❤❤❤❤❤ from legacy of darkness
Man i miss dr_pirate_adventure
No one in here mention here but this looks similar in Lost painting castlevania Sotn
Songs to become a walking nuke to
Legacy of darkness
ｼﾞｬｷﾝ!ｼﾞｬｷﾝ!ｼﾞｬｷﾝ!
Not extended enough
Way better than the genesis version
gad damn that stupid ugly and hard battle arena
Decent, but the original is better
